Ultra-Mag™ Explosion-proof Level Switch

For Powder & Bulk Solids

The Series E, G, & P Ultra-Mag™ is an explosion-proof series of level switches for powder and bulk solids that utilize a unique magnetic linkage and diaphragm design to sense the presence of powder and bulk solids in a variety of bins, vessels, and hoppers.

MOUNTING SELECTION
A choice of either suspension or flange mounting is available to match your application. Flange mounting is the best choice for control of low or intermediate level in vessels containing granular product that does not "bridge", "rathole", or otherwise build up on vessel walls. Choose suspension mounting for high level in vessels and for better operation with "bridging" product.

Note: The mounting configuration is represented by the letter "S" for suspension or "F" for flange which is the second digit in the part number.

Question

What are the two dry product level switch model types? What ranges do they cover? How are they adjusted? How many set-points do they have?

Answer

GSD3DA - gravity (elastomer) suspension, aluminum housing, polyurethane diaphragm, standard 15 amp switch. PSD16A - pneumatic (fabric), suspension, aluminum housing, filter fabric diaphragm, polyester 150 micron permeability, standard 15 amp switch. They can be adjusted to any level. They are adjusted by a screw adjustment. One setpoint available.
